Unable to set up initial Motoblur account!

I recently bought my Motorola Atrix 4G off Ebay and it just arrived today in the mail. I am living in New Zealand using an unlocked (or so the Ebay description says) Atrix. When I first turn on my phone the Motoblur account set up comes up, of course. <br>When I press start it says "checking for data connectivity" but then says the connection fails and gives me the option to Setup Wifi. I have a working Wifi connection and I have disabled all security for this purpose but when I try to connect the Wifi will say "Scanning..." then "Connecting..." then "Disconneceted" immediately. <br><br>Without this I can't setup my Motoblur and can't use my new phone D:. HEEELP!

Okay right, last night I added an APN for my New Zealand network thing and I got my Motoblur account thing done .
However, the Wifi problem still persists and it will say "scanning..." followed by "connecting..." and then "disconnected". I have enabled both data thingies as above but it hasn't helped. My router is a Belkin Wireless N F5D8236-4. I'm using WPA2-Personal with TKIP encryption... I don't know if this helps. In any case, I know the wireless is working because my laptop is doing just fine.
And thank you! Your help is very much appreciated.

I have tried the forget network/reset router business and it didn't help. Yes, this problem did exist before the update and at this stage I'd rather not try a factory reset.
The interesting thing is that today I was in the CBD and I successfully connected to a network! It was one of those pay-per-use public wifi networks so I didn't actually have the opportunity to surf the net, but when I opened the browser it did enter the whole "Welcome to Cafenet, please input credit card number here etc." . I also know for sure that I can get data off my 3G network operator. I guess from this I can conclude that my phone is able to pick up wifi networks, connect to them and receive data from both 3G and wifi.
Is my best bet to try the above XDA link? I'm just not sure if rooting is the best idea.

Well, if it connects to any network in your country, then it's probably not driver related, so the XDA post might not help.

Can you try to possibly change your security type on your home router? The phone might be having an issue with the security settings.
